The Weyburn area received some prestigious honours in the world of baseball this the weekend.

The community of Weyburn as a whole was inducted into the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame. The city's role in helping to grow the sport over the years was a key factor in the induction. Mayor Marcel Roy accepted the induction and plaque on behalf of the city.

Also inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this year was Weyburn's Elmer Franks and the Beck family from Lang.

The ceremony was held Saturday in Battleford at the Sask Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
